[Adium-devl] Google Summer of Code iPhone/iPod Touch Client

[Simon Hollingshead]

http://adiumx.com/faq/AdiumForiPhone has been posted on this matter

can't run in the background (apparently) also puts a damper on it as  
you couldn't, for example, make calls/SMS whilst using any messaging  
protocols.
